What you need to know about vasectomy

Many men have prejudice and mixed feelings when it comes to vasectomy. This fear and mixed feeling are usually based on lack of knowledge on this topic.

Vasectomy is actually a permanent method of contraception. This means that once a man decides that he is ready to perform it, there is no turning back – the process is irreversible. Even though, every year more and more men decide to have vasectomy, there are still some prejudices, fears and even myths about it. Of course, this is all normal because lack of knowledge can cause all these feelings and the best option to eliminate these things is learning few things about vasectomy.

Vasectomy is a term used to describe a minor surgical procedure, which in most cases is performed under local anesthesia. Medically speaking, vasectomy is a permanent interruption of the flow of sperm from the testicles to the urethra, or in simple words – the sperm is not released out of the hard erection penis during ejaculation. Having all these things in mind, one should be completely sure that he doesn’t want to be a father again. That’s why the medical staff is having consultation with the patient before they proceed with the surgery. In most cases, vasectomy is a choice for men who already have children but don’t want to have more children and in some cases there are men who are sure that they don’t want to have children at all. The procedure is very easy and painless (because of the local anesthesia) and it doesn’t require much time for recovery. The usual advice is to rest for a few days and not lift anything that is heavy. If you are considering permanent contraception with your partner, vasectomy should be one of your top choices mostly because of the simple procedure. For example, tubal ligation in women, also known as sterilization in women, is a procedure that is performed under complete anesthesia. Besides that it is more complicated and in many cases it has some side effects.

The most common problem in men and vasectomy is the fact that many men cannot even imagine someone with a scalpel getting near their genitals. In addition, many of them assume vasectomy will lose their manhood and they won’t feel like normal men. However, it is scientifically proved that those who have undergone a vasectomy don’t lose anything except the fact that their semen doesn’t contain sperms any more. There aren’t any changes in the mood, in the voice, in the sex drives and of course men will continue to grow their beard and body hair. Absolutely all sexual characteristics of men will remain the same as they were before the surgery. Even the amount of semen liquid will remain the same, because sperm is only a minor part of that liquid. Those who didn’t have any problems with harder erection also won’t have problems after the surgery.

Before you make any decision visit your doctor and preferably an urologist to get detailed and objective information. It's a good solution for contraception, you can have a direct contact without condom can make sex much better and most of the time guy can feel more sensitive and boost sexual desire.

Pull-out method as a type of contraception

This method that is also known as rejected sexual intercourse of withdrawal method has been practiced by couples for hundreds of years. But this still doesn’t make it a good contraceptive method.

Coitus interruptus is the medical term for this type of contraception and it was the main method of contraception for ancient civilizations and it didn’t take long until they’ve realized the connection between the sexual intercourse and conception. That’s why the’e started practicing sexual intercourses in which the man pulls out the penis when he starts to feel that the ejaculation is on its way. In this way the semen is released on the partner or next to her instead inside her vagina. In simple words, we are talking about sexual intercourse with pull-out method which prevents unwanted pregnancy. I tis interesting that this method is mentioned even the Bible.

When it comes to its efficiency, the pull-out method (coitus interruptus) has the highest rate of failure, because according to some relevant medical statistics 2 in 10 cases end in pregnancy. Stopping the sexual intercourse right before ejaculation is certainly not the most reliable method for protection against unwanted pregnancy and the main reason is not the ejaculation itself but the pre-seminal fluid that is released from the penis in the state of increased arousal. This liquid is released during the sexual intercourse without control and it is more present during the end of the sex act. This pre-ejaculate contains sperms and their number can be higher if the man has recently ejaculated and each of these sperms can be on its way to the eggs long before the man achieves orgasm. In addition, performing coitus interruptus requires ability of self-control in men. Inexperienced and young men often have trouble pulling out the hard erection penis during sex.

In the so-called pull-out method both men and women can experience the full pleasure of sex and they can both share the frustration because of the interrupted sex act in cases of conception. In many cases women want their men to stay longer inside them and men find difficult to resist. The biggest advantage of the pull-out method is that there is no need for additional input of hormones in the women’s body which is not the case when contraceptive pills are used. In this way you can also avoid allergies that are very common when condoms are used. Overall, the whole process feels more natural. However, besides the higher risk of unwanted pregnancy, the pull-out method doesn’t offer any protection against sexually transmitted diseases(STD). In some cases it can also contribute to constant sexual dissatisfaction because the partners are unable to relax when they are reaching intense orgasm.

The sperms are moving really fast once they are released and it takes them part of a second to reach the eggs. Although this method is not advisable, if you feel that this the best option for you try to practice it when the period of ovulation is finished. In this way you can significantly lower the chances of unwanted pregnancy. The advantage? The contact is direct and you can enjoy sex the best way, it can give you the biggest erection and some of the girls don't like condom too. This may be your solution as well.
